WIM (WoW Instant Messenger)

WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) is a World of Warcraft addon which helps you to manage your whispers by making them into a classic instant messenger interface such as AIM, Yahoo and MSN.

With game play in mind, WIM has a large array of options where you can customize how WIM interacts during different situations, such as while you are in combat or in town talking to friends or selling your crafts.

Some of WIM's major features are:
-Tabbed or windowed messages
-History
-Filtering
-Fully customizable
-and more...

To keep up to date with WIM and its developement, be sure to visit http://www.wimaddon.com. WIMAddon.com is a great place to converse with the developers and users of WIM.

*I welcome all comments and suggestions. It is the wow community which helps in creating a success.

I have a suggestion. 2.4 introduced an API in ChatFrame.lua to add/remove chat message event filters, so addons can modify the messages without needing to hook. You can easily make use of the CHAT_MSG_WHISPER filters so they can modify WIM's messages as well.

Hello, just got this mod and found this post which seems to indicate that DBM's auto-reply feature no longer works when WIM is enabled? Please let me know ASAP, as I am in a hardcore raiding guild AND get a lot of tells during raids which makes this feature of DBM's invaluable. I will have to disable this mod during raiding/instancing until I know if your mod is compatible with me ;D

(And yes, DBM does have a party feature which is for 5-mans. I use it while farming heroics hehe)

W2W is causing a lot of spam in the addon channels. It even sends me constant updates on myself if I whisper myself. I'm going to try to edit my savedvariables to turn it off since there seems to be no other way to control it.

The W2W plugin can't be disabled (as far as I can tell), and it seems to want to try and contact people from other realms that I've whispered in a BG after I leave the BG (and I get an error message that they cannot be found).

Wow... This is by far the nicest looking mod I think that exists in all of WoW. Very professional, and for possibly the first time ever, a mod works exactly the way I'd like it to, and I don't even have to go do ugly dirty hacks at the source code!

I thought Forgotten Chat was a nice improvement over the default method of handling tells until this came along. You've helped me reclaim my screen real estate when conducting business. Thanks so much, and congratulations on a job extremely well done!
